On the subject of it's size, I somewhat agree but it's still smaller and thinner than most other "compacts" in it's category. With that said, I replaced it with an M&P40C for concealed carry. I came to the conclusion that if I am going to carry a handgun for personal protection, the personal protection part comes first and the concealed part comes second. So, my M&P might be a little bigger, but it goes bang a little harder.
My wife loves the 232 and shoots it very well. I just bought a new Hogue grip for it to make it a little more comfortable for her.
Just got back from shooting a couple hundred rounds, shot my 232 some more along with Sig 229 .357, glock .357 subcompact and the sig 238. I have yet to have a problem with my 232, fired 5 or 6 different brands of ammo, cheapest I could find and one box of high dollar rounds. I couldnt believe how well the sig 238 shot for such a small gun. It shot about like a 22 IMO. I am a fan of .357's and .45's but these little pistols are starting to grow on me. They are so much easier to carry and conceal. My wife also likes shooting them and wants a sig 238, mainly for the way it looks but hey if thats what it takes for her to get into shooting Im fine with that, lol.
